?Episode 03?

⚘Lee Gon Pyo POV⚘

I put on my dark. Shade sunglass.

There would be no need for me to try to look different today. I’m gonna be in my car all through except when I reach home.

I can’t wait to see mum though.

I placed my jacket on my shoulder and walked out of my room and then out of my apartment.

As I walked to an elevator, I heard a voice far behind me.

“Jayke?” I turned back. There were two ladies and a man. They gasped and brought out cameras and started taking pictures.

Shit! Reporter again!

?it's him! It's really him!?

I rushed to the elevator and pressed the button continuously. It finally opened. I got in and waited patiently and the doors closed before they could reach me.

That was close!

Alex POV

I pressed the button on the elevator . It soon opened. Someone was in.

It was scratchy's elevator crush, he looked frightened a bit but relaxed when he saw me.

“Get in! Hurry.” He said in a commanding tone.

“what?” I looked at scratchy on my arms and then behind me. There was no one. He was talking to me definitely. I entered and the elevator door closed immediately.

“Are you Okay?” I asked him.

He spared me a glance and looked away without saying anything.

“Do you remember me? The girl from the elevator yesterday?” I asked. After much silence he slowly turned to face me.

“Yes… I do.” He said.

“Okay.” I said holding Scratchy tight in my arms. Why was he acting all cold.

And Scratchy, She was struggling to go meet him.

“What’s with your cat?” he asked. I think he noticed.

“Uh… She likes you.” I said. He slowly nodded and turned away. Scratchy suddenly left my hold and jumped on him.

“Scratchy no!!” I yelled but it was too late. She even seemed to startle him a bit.

“it's okay.” He muttered taking her from his shoulder.

“she is really tiny.” He muttered.

“Do you like cats?” I asked.

“No… I mean yes.. But I love dogs.” He said. Oh oh.

“you know cat hates dogs right? So that means you don’t like cats.” I said. He stared at me without saying anything but later looked away. He removed his eye shade and tucked it carefully on his shirt and then, turned to face me properly.

“Are you stalking me?” he asked. I scoffed.

“why would I do that?” I almost rolled my eyes but I held it.

“then can you explain us meeting in an elevator? Twice in a row.

And why are you even talking to me like you know me? Are you trying to get my attention… with your cat?” he raised a brow.

I wanted to reply him but it was when I opened my mouth that I realised I didn’t even know what to say. Why would he Say such a thing? This isn’t the guy I met yesterday. is he?

The elevator suddenly shook and I lost balance and held on to him.

The lights went off and the elevator surely stopped moving. I took my hands off him.

“What just happened?” I asked in fright. He wiped himself with an handkerchief without a word.

“damn.” He suddenly muttered in English and glanced at his watch. He sighed. It was hard to tell if it was in relief or frustration.

“I think the power just went out. But how? What are we gonna do?” I asked.

I took my cat from him and of course he gave it back willingly.

Slowly the elevator became hot and we were both sweating in no time.

“Do you speak English?” I asked. His brow furrowed.

“no.” He said.

“but you just…” I paused. ‘Let it go Alex.’ I told myself.

“what are we gonna do now. It's hot in here!” I asked. He didn’t say anything. So I kept shut afterwards. It seemed like I was disturbing him already.

But I just didn't understand, I already felt so free talking to him.

I turned to the other side. “Scratchy, what should we do? We are gonna boil in here.” I hugged her.

“and he now seem so cold. Or maybe it was my imagination that he was friendly at first.

Should I still ask him to give us a ride now? Remember we were gonna wait for him at the parking lot.” I muttered. She meowed. I unlocked from the hug with scratchy.

“should I still ask him?” I asked. I don’t even know what she was saying. But I knew her answer is yes.

The elevator shook again and I almost fell but I didn’t. But scratchy slipped off my hand and fell.

I screamed. Oh no!

I bent down and carried her.

“I'm So sorry, I didn’t mean to drop you.” I said and ran my hand on her back. She kept squirming and I thought she was gonna die on me.

I examined her body and I saw a stain of blood on the white hair on her leg.

“oh no! I think one of your legs is broken! Arr! I'm sorry.” I said. The power came back on.

I placed her on the floor.

“we should see a doctor. what should I tie your leg with now? We can’t go back inside!” I said. She squirmed. In pain maybe.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked at him. He stretched a handkerchief rather unwillingly.

“Thank you.” I took it and tied her leg. I picked her up and turned to face him.

“Please can you give us a ride?” I asked.

“whaat? No.” He said bluntly.

“Please, my cat is hurt and we don’t know any where here. Pleas just take us to a veterinary hospital.” I pleaded.

Lee Gon Pyo POV

I stared at her. I really wanted to help her but…

The media will surely be on their way here by now, I mean my hideout was just busted a while ago.

And I didn’t try to cover my looks this time, that was because I was thinking I’d be with mum all day.

It wouldn’t take a second before the reporters would hit me if I took her anywhere. Of course they'll recognize any of my cars because they are all customized… and they'll trail me.

But the only place they can’t trail me to is my dad's house. So I can’t go anywhere else.

What should I do now? I really feel bad for her.

“I cant.” I said and looked away. The elevator opened and I got out and walked into the parking lot. It was pretty dark. I felt her after me.

“Hyung! Hyung, you are so mean!” She yelled. Wow is she really talking to me that way.

I walked to the middle of the lot where my car was parked.

“Hyung!” She yelled. I walked till I finally got to my car.

“What an asshole.” She said in English. I turned to face her.

“what?” I was so shock to see about 3 reporters at the other end. Behind her.

But they haven't sighted us yet. Jeez! It'll be another terrible news if I was spotted with a girl and still refused to say a word to the reporters. And even her reputation might be soiled as well.

If I got in my car and drive off, they’ll know it's me and I’m running away from them. Another terrible news might hit the media about me.

And I dont want this girl here to know about me being Jayke. At least not yet.

I placed my jacket on the car. I took off my shade and placed it on the car. I hurriedly took off my shirt as well. She gasped.

“what are you doing?” she stuttered.

I held her waist and pulled her to the car. Pinning her back against it.

“Adjussi!” She exclaimed. I leaned down and kissed her lips. She raised her shoulder frozen. My eyes were opened waiting the reporters. they got close to us and I closed my eyes.

If the reporters sees this, they'll think it's just two people making out. I mean they won’t recognize me without that shirt they saw me with a moment ago. And I don’t have a any special body tattoo.

So they won’t bother looking here when they have someone as important as Jayke to look for.

I trailed my hand down her hip and kissed her face down to her jawline.

?awww! So disgusting!? I heard one mutter.

?Aigooo! children of nowadays.?

?Come on! I'm sure I saw Jayke, Let’s hurry.?

There were sounds of footsteps moving away after. s**t that was close.

I slowly pulled away from her. And that was when I noticed her eyes were closed all these while. She slowly opened them still standing frozen.

“Adjusssi! p*****t!” She probably wished she could yell, her voice came out unbearably low.

“hmm!” She hummed clearing her throat.

“you p*****t!” She said much louder and held on to her cat tight. No wonder she didn’t push me away. She was holding her cat.

“come on, I’ll give you a ride.” I said taking my stuffs from the car roof.

“no!” She said.

“fine, maybe you want your cat to keep going through pains.”

“p*****t” She yelled. I looked around the parking lot.

The reporters were already gone. And of course what she said hurts though. I'm not a p*****t.

I opened my car door and got in shutting it after. She also entered immediately.

I looked through the rearview mirror. She looked angry and confused.

Jeez! This is going to be awkward.

*

I halted in front of the hospital and she hurried out of the car. I watched her through out the drive, through the rearview mirror. I think she cried sometimes because of her cat.

She really loves her huh? I wonder how someone can love an animal.

And I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. But I think that is because I kissed her.

I palmed my face. Thinking about that moment has been giving me stomach ache.

I had no choice.

Hold on, when did I start feeling sorry for kissing someone? She should consider herself very lucky.

I sighed. That didn’t work. I still felt sorry.

My phone beeped. I took it out of my pocket. It was a notification.

I tapped on it And the next thing I saw was the front of my apartment. It was filled with reporters.

Some were sitting on the floor, some were giving news to their various channels, some were eating. But they were all waiting for me!

Shit!!!

I checked my time, it was few mins past 10 in the morning.

I slammed my palm on the steering. I should go. I'm sure Alex can find her way. Besides who knows if she still wants to see me.

I just felt terrible that I made a bad impression on her. She thinks I’m a p*****t.

But I still ain’t gonna explain anything to her. While we were both talking at the elevator, I felt a part of myself that I almost forgot existed.

I felt normal. And even just for a while, I want to keep feeling so. And she seems to be the only one who doesn’t know me. So Let’s leave it that way.

I suddenly heard something slam my car window. And then continuously. It hit me that some people already recognized my car.

I ignited the car engine and was soon off from there.

Alex POV

“Scratchy, the doctor said you’ll be fine. I bought cat food for you.” I said sitting on a chair beside the bed. She was receiving a drip.

I opened the can of food and poured it in a plate.

“Here… hurry and eat.” I said placing it on the bed. I made her lie down with her belly facing down and she started eating hastily.

“don’t stain your hair. It's very hard to bath you and you know it!” I yelled. She started eating slowly.

I held scratchy cuddling her in my arms. We were in a heavy traffic. We were already going home.

I couldn’t stop thinking about what that guy did to me.

I felt used and terrible. How could he just kiss me and the worst part of it, there was nothing I could do about it. I even still rode in his car because I had no choice.

I blinked back the tears. I just felt terrible.

“Adjussi, What’s the cause of this traffic?” I couldn’t help but ask the driver. The traffic was terrible. I mean we've been in a position since the past 20 mins.

“oh… noona, the Jay.K music band is in the neighborhood.

They’ve been looking for one of them for a very long time and this morning, news hit the media, that he was spotted in a complex house in this neighborhood.” He said.

“Jay.K music band?” I asked. What is that? I've never heard of it.

“yes.” He said.

“Jayke, have been involved in many scandals lately. Aside fighting with a fan,

It recently said that he abused one of his video girls in the latest music he release. But the news just got out.”

“wow… is he successful?”

“Aigoo!” The man exclaimed. “he is the third richest musician in Korea. “he was the first ever teenage musician to win an American award.

He won the voice of Korea award, 7 times, three in a role twice. And…” He said.

“wow. Then why Would he do such a thing?” I cut him off bored already. He stuttered a bit.

“well, only him knows…” he said.

“how many of them are in the band?”

“hold on, where did you come from? How can you not know such a thing?”

“oh, I’ve been out of the country for a while.” i said.

“oh… okay. There are Jayke, which is him.

Then Jaycee, Jayson and Jayne.

Mix band.” He said.

“wow.” I muttered. I'm not really a fan of music but I love celebrities and I badly want to be one.

“since the traffic is very high, I’ll just get down.

Here is what I owe.” I paid him.

I opened the door and got out.

“Scratchy, Let’s go some where and come back when everywhere is quiet again?”
